A 16-year-old police have called a ringleader is one of four young people booked into the Pima County jail on felony charges related to a string of armed robberies in Tucson over the last several months.
Steven Robles, 16, was arrested this week on suspicion of robbing eight businesses beginning July 7 at a Quickmart convenience store, said Sgt. Chris Widmer, a spokesman for the Tucson Police Department. Other businesses robbed were a hair salon, a fast food restaurant, a video game store, a tobacco shop and a pawn shop. Robles was booked on eight counts of armed robbery and six counts of aggravated robbery.
Others arrested Wednesday night are: Alexandria Gallego, 15, one count each of armed robbery and aggravated robbery; Samuel Torres-Garcia, 19, on four counts each of armed robbery and aggravated robbery and one count of aggravated assault; and Orlando Robles, 22, on one count each of armed robbery and aggravated robbery.
Steven Robles and Orlando Robles are brothers. Gallego is the girlfriend of Steven Robles, according to Widmer.
The minors implicated in the case are being named by the Star because they are being charged as adults on serious felony counts.
